The answers looked pretty clear to me....you can't bridge 2 ohm load onto this amp.  When a two channel amp is 2 ohm stable, the meaning is that each of the two channels can be 2 ohms.  Bridging connects the two channels, and connect means to parallel, which puts half the load onto each channel.  So the amp would have to be 1 ohm stable to bridge a 2 ohm load onto it.  To use this amp for subs and get the most output, trade out your current subs for models that will combine to create a total 4 ohm impedance....such as two DVC 4 ohm subs.

Or get a different type of amp.  A class D mono amp is one channel, and you can combine the two subs you have and use that type.

Stevdart hit the nail on the head, imo.
I'd only like to add that I wouldn't get your undies in a bundle about getting max wattage out of your amp. Frankly, anything over a couple hundred watts, on all but very inefficient woofers, is more than enough for daily driving at non-hearing loss levels.
